DER Training

Implementing and Managing Your Fit for Duty Policy & Program

(DER/Program Administrator Training)

In recent years, companies and worksites have begun to change their approach to workplace safety. This paradigm shift is intensified by the upcoming legalization of marijuana, which makes it imperative that workplace policies and testing address employee impairment and fitness for duty, rather than focus solely on employee substance use.

In addition, though drug and alcohol testing are not regulated in Canada, there are still legislative requirements that must be met and be complied with. These requirements include Federal and Provincial Human Rights legislation, Privacy Acts, and Labor Standards.

This 3-hour course will provide program administrators and management information and tools to manage their workplace Fit for Duty programs in a way that protects the company from liability while also supporting worker health and safety.
